Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Eh, fair enough. Its not like I actually want to make the argument that anyone was going to be excited by "NWA Champion Not Magnus."

I guess I'm just not getting the full appeal of those videos or Storm. But I guess its working for some, so that's something.

more importantly, wrestlers are calling tim storm out on twitter for matches that people are seemingly excited for so this was a success in that regard

If we're gonna do a bunch of NWA title defenses against lower tier "name" guys, I wanna see Tim Donst or Tripp Cassidy before BLK Jeez.

Is Billy on good terms with Jeff Jarrett? Assuming he's sober Jarrett could probably have a match better with Storm than this one.

I mean... it's the NWA, but at least it looks like they've kind of been trying to seem presentable and rehab their image recently. Jarrett is a drunken garbage fire of negative media attention right now

All joking about Tim Storm aside, it would be nice to see a wrestling company go anywhere without being inundated with the usual suspects. Fuckin Jarrett, Bischoff, Russo, whatever, Wrestling promotion desperately needs new blood.

I watched part of the match before my privacy blockers decided that Facebook is bad. I missed the gassy rollup sequence but Storm looked badly winded 10 minutes in.

1. commentary is loving atrocious. If they spent less time contextualizing the match itself and calling the action I would have given them a pass. CALL THE loving MATCH IN FRONT OF YOU
2. There was a chinlock spot that drove me insane. Aldis didn't secure his thumbs properly so Storm starts attacking them. Nothing happens. Storm should have been able to lever Aldis's hands free or broken a thumb in the process.

If i was booking this as a year long program, it'd be Tim Storm very barely getting victories over increasingly difficult opposition until he finally drops the belt. I'd put it on David Starr or Sami Callihan. Also I'd establish a very clear set of criteria to be considered for contendership. Stuff like wrestled internationally, defended a title outside of its home promotion, 10+ years experience, etc.

I liked all the videos they did to promote the match but Tim Storm is really bad in the ring and they should have taken the belt off him the first chance they had. Magnus isn't great but they'd be much better off having him tour the country with that belt.

No one wants to book Magnus. He wrestles a couple times a month in the US and never gets UK bookings despite the boom there. He sucks.

he does suck but also he lives in the US so the UK boom wouldn't do much for his prospects regardless

Was Magnus the guy in the tna British stable who had the German suplex equivalent of the Canadian destroyer or was that someone else

Why, he can travel? He's traveled before. People don't want him. (He's technically done some UK dates.)

There are people acting really hard like they care on twitter and hey, the youtube videos got ten thousand whole views.

Obviously it is on a small scale but people kind of care about Tim Storm so he's fine for a couple of months before they find someone decent.

no, dropping the belt at this point would kill little credibility the NWA title has left. Get some promoted, hyped defenses with Tim Storm then drop to the next guy. The big challenge is getting eyes on the product and they're working towards that.

Just listened to that promo on a recent Karl Stern show, it was pretty good but I think my reaction has been somewhat colored by the intervening years, and Douglas sounds more like a smug guy posting on the internet than a wrestler. His pause before acknowledging Ric Flair is pretty loving great though.
